About Me
My background
J.F. Richards is a fantasy author and storyteller passionate about building worlds where imagination meets transformation. His breakout series, The Legend of the Sacred Knights, introduces readers to the realm of Metazona—a land where elemental gems, ancient guardians, and a brotherhood of anthropomorphic heroes collide in an epic battle between light and shadow.
Growing up in upstate New York and navigating life with Asperger Syndrome, Richards found refuge in books, cartoons, and fantasy realms. His stories reflect themes of identity, perseverance, and unlocking hidden potential—often through magical transformations. The loss of his mother and personal experiences with being misunderstood shaped his deep empathy for underdog characters, making his writing especially resonant with young adults and fans of redemptive journeys.
When he's not writing, he enjoys Card Games, Watching entertaining shows, and creating vibrant character art for his books and merchandise through his official shop, The Sacred Knights Store. He continues to expand the Sacred Knights universe across novels, art, and multimedia storytelling with a devoted fanbase and a growing online presence.
